Well, I definitely don't want the kind of characters described above. (At least, if the cliche isn't used very well ) But that partly due to the fact, that I'm not a big fan of the traditional fantasy princesses anyway. Sometimes I think, I'm rather wrong in the fantasy genre, especially because I prefer democracies or dictatorships to kingdoms, but where else to go to with the magic?I think readers kind of want the traditional damsel in need of a knight in shining armor to come rescue her. The princess who knows how to handle a eligant party, but doesn't know which end of the sword to hold on too. It is interesting that even when a woman(Queen) rules, the women are treated no better.
